Grave markers in the form of tombstones, headstones and gravestones range from the simple and understated, to the ornate and exuberant. Graveyards and cemeteries are special places, and popular for photographers too. They have a feel all of their own - quiet, contemplative spaces where past lives are all around us, honoured in stone and words. The challenge for the photographer can be in producing imagery that is original, given how familiar we are with them.
